In 2006 Canterbury Archaeological Trust carried out an evaluation. Middle Iron Age features were found across the site. These included post holes, pits and ditches. No structure could be identified amongst the post holes but this was probably due to the limited area of the site exposed during the evaluation. The features suggest Middle Iron Age domestic settlement within the immediate vicinity. One feature was possible either a pit or a ditch. If it was a ditch, it has been suggested that it could belong to a Bronze Age round barrow.

In 2016 a watching brief was carried out in the south-east of the site. Eight archaeological features were uncovered. One feature (cut 118) was dated to the Middle Iron Age based on a single pot sherd. The rest were tentatively dated to the Late Iron Age and were believed to be similar in nature to other Iron Age sites on the North Foreland promontory. (2)
